Is my late ship date due to accessories ordered?

Hi everyone:

It makes no sense to me that I ordered my iphone 5 on the apple store website almost an hour after the launch of the preorder and the order status indicates a ship date in 2 weeks anda delivery date of October 5, particularly since people have indicated that they ordered many hours later on Verizon and will have a delivery date of September 21.

Could the reason for my late delivery date be due to the fact that I included a lightning adapter in my order which the ordr status indicates will be available to ship October?

Do you think if i were to delete it and order it seperately, that my ship date might be moved up?

Aah. So thankful that I'm a hall director on a college campus and my home delivery address and work delivery address are the same thing. :cool:

Living in the same place you work as some advantages sometimes.

Ordered two at about 3:15, 3:07 for the first one. Both are in the "processing" stage on the Apple site. Is that fine? Says delivery date the 21st

I tried checking my order status in the VZW website but it doesnt appear :S. Even though I got a confirmation email and everything....should I just wait a little? Guessing it takes a while to come up? I ordered at like 3:10 AM EST.

I think it all depends on the # of preorders and how many each place were allotted. I think apple had a lot more people preorder through them compared to carrier sites such as verizon.

Mine didn't come up at first either I ordered at like 2:50 from verizon but then mid-day today it showed up.

Edit: just went back and checked and now it is showing no info lol. Probably the servers being overloaded is all.

Still no change on the order page. Expecting the tracking information to be available my middle of next week. I'm sure FedEx has it stored in their warehouses ready to ship but let's see when the information is available.

I'm guessing that we can leave a signed note on the door for FedEx in case no one is home that day?

Maybe...

Where did you order it? The carriers use different delivery services, and I have gotten stuff from Apple on both UPS and FedEx.

When you get your shipping notice with the tracking number go to that delivery service's website and go through the steps they require to waive delivery confirmation... they may have specific steps to follow.

And be advised that if you leave the form and they leave the iPhone and somebody comes along and takes it, YOU are the one who is out of luck...

I ordered it from Verizon. I'm not worried about someone taking the phone I love in the mountain :D
If I remember I think Verizon uses FedEx.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. However, a rep said everything would ship together- phone and accessories. So I took the accessories off the order since on their own they qualify for free shipping. I doubt this will make a difference but who knows.

I tried to order from Verizon but when added a line it looked like It created not just a second line but a second plan.There were no Verizon reps on the phone to help walk me thru. On all my devices, although I tried ordering at 3 am eastern, I couldn't access the apple site until close to 4. What was the point of waking up to order?

Well usually it isn't as bad but it seems they had more issues than usually last night for preorders.

I always do that with shipments from Apple -- in fact I did it today for my EarPods that got FedEx delivered. When you get the shipment notice email from Apple you can printout a shipping pre-sign form from your order status.

I still haven't gotten my confirmation email from Verizon, ordered at like 12:55am (MST). I did screen print the order confirmation and can see using the preorder site that "We have received your order and it is in process". I know they said it could take up to 24 hours for a confirmation email, but this seems to be pushing it. Man, it's tough to be patient - it's going to be a long week! :)
